This is a poster for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. It was made by April Greiman and Jayme Odgers. It definitely has a sense of depth like all April Greiman's work with the legs looking as though they are stepping out of a pool towards the viewer.

This is a book by German designers Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma called Arabesque Graphic Design from the Arab World and Persia.

Of all the design history books I've seen none of them had anything about current graphic design from the middle east. The calligraphy is very cool I like the arab script font.

This is a poster by Peter Max from 1971. It says Life is Beautiful stay alive don't smoke cigarettes it was commissioned by the American cancer society. I think it looks very much like the animation from the movie yellow submarine even more so than other psychedelic
art.
